Cheapest Countries To Visit From India Without Visa – Your Ultimate List For 2023!

Once upon a time there lived little Asha in a quaint corner of India whose lifetime dream was to set foot on foreign shores one day but kept putting off her travel plans forever due to lack of funds. Sounds familiar?

For people like me who are in love with travelling, travelling is not just a hobby. It is rather a means to escape the mundane life. And like most things in today’s life, money decides the next course of action. More so the next vacation destination. Whether to go on a national or international vacation depends almost entirely on your budget.

When it comes to international travel, most of us (Indians) suffer from this mental block that it is very expensive. Well I have only one thing to say in this matter – Not always my friend!

What if I told you it is in fact possible to travel abroad with round about the same budget you would need for a destination within India ? All it requires is thorough research, advance planning and booking, and a traveler’s soul ready to face challenges.

Another problem that plagues (look what I just did there! 🙂 ) the post COVID world is visa issues. With the waiting time stretching into weeks sometimes, getting a visa can be a hassle for many. Thankfully there are still a host of countries willing to open their doors for Indians, no questions asked. All you require is a valid Indian passport and you can travel without a visa.

Here’s a list of the best budget countries to visit from India without visa.

India is a captivating country that attracts visitors from all over the world. With its rich cultural heritage, historical monuments, and natural wonders, India is a must-visit destination for many travelers. The good news is that certain nationalities can enter India without the need for a visa. This includes citizens of Bhutan and Nepal who enjoy an open border policy with India, allowing them unrestricted travel to and from the country.

In addition to citizens of Bhutan and Nepal, India also provides visa-free entry to Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Trinidad and Tobago passport holders. These countries have bilateral agreements with India that permit their citizens to visit India without a visa for a specified period. The duration can vary, so it is advisable to check with the Indian embassy or consulate in your country for the latest information regarding visa requirements.

India has visa-free travel agreements with Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Trinidad and Tobago. These agreements allow citizens of these countries to enter India without a visa for a certain period of time. However, it is essential to check the latest information from the Indian embassy or consulate in your country before you plan your trip.

The agreements vary in terms of the duration of stay, purpose of the visit, and the number of entries permitted. Some agreements only allow visa-free travel for tourism purposes, while others may also cover business or official trips. It is crucial to familiarize yourself with the specific conditions of the agreement that applies to your country of citizenship.

The duration of visa-free stay in India depends on the country you hold a passport from. Bhutanese and Nepalese citizens can stay in India for an indefinite period of time without a visa due to the open border policy between the countries.

For citizens of Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, and Trinidad and Tobago, the duration of visa-free stay can vary. It is advisable to check with the Indian embassy or consulate in your country to verify the specific time limit allowed for visa-free travel.

If you are from a country that enjoys visa-free travel to India, you may be able to extend your stay beyond the initial period allowed. However, it is essential to comply with the immigration laws and regulations of India.

To extend your stay, you must apply to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) or the Foreigners Registration Office (FRO) at least 60 days before your visa-free period expires. The decision to grant an extension is at the discretion of the authorities, and it is subject to certain conditions and requirements.

Visa-free travel to India generally does not allow individuals to engage in any form of employment or business activities. If you plan to work in India, you will need to obtain an appropriate work visa or permit.

The visa-free agreements between India and the countries mentioned earlier usually only cover tourist, personal, or business visits for a limited period. If you intend to work or conduct business in India, it is essential to consult the Indian embassy or consulate in your country to understand the visa requirements and procedures.

If you hold dual nationality and one of your passports is from a country with a visa-free travel agreement with India, you may be able to enter without a visa using that specific passport.

It is important to note that you must enter and exit India using the same passport and comply with the immigration laws and regulations of India. When traveling with multiple passports, it is advisable to present the passport that allows visa-free entry to avoid any potential issues or complications at the immigration checkpoint.

Visa-free travel to India grants you the right to enter and stay in India without a visa, but it does not automatically extend to other countries. If you plan to travel to other countries from India, you need to check the visa requirements and regulations of those countries separately.

Each country has its own visa policies, and depending on your nationality, you may need to apply for a visa before traveling. It is important to research and understand the visa requirements of the countries you intend to visit to ensure a smooth and hassle-free travel experience.

While certain nationalities can visit India without a visa, it is important to note that there might still be restrictions in place. These restrictions can include limits on the purpose of the visit, duration of stay, or the number of entries permitted within a specific period.

It is crucial to familiarize yourself with the conditions and limitations outlined in the visa-free travel agreements between your country and India. This will ensure that you comply with all requirements and avoid any legal issues or complications during your visit to India.

Some areas in India, commonly referred to as “Restricted Areas,” require special permits for both Indian and foreign visitors. These permits are issued by the relevant authorities and are necessary to enter and stay in these areas.

Even if you are from a country that enjoys visa-free travel to India, you will still need to obtain the necessary permits if you plan to visit these restricted areas. The permits are typically obtained through authorized travel agents or government offices, and the process may involve submitting specific documents and adhering to certain guidelines.

For certain medical treatments, foreigners can avail themselves of the Medical Visa category to enter India. The Medical Visa allows individuals to travel to India for medical treatment, including specialized treatments that may not be available in their home country.

To obtain a Medical Visa, individuals need to provide appropriate medical documents and an invitation letter from a recognized medical facility in India. It is crucial to check the specific requirements and procedures for obtaining a Medical Visa from the Indian embassy or consulate in your country.

If you are planning to visit India for educational or research purposes, you will need to obtain an appropriate visa. Visa-free travel to India generally does not cover educational visits or longer-term academic programs.

To study or conduct research in India, you will need to apply for a Student Visa or a Research Visa, depending on the nature and duration of your educational program. It is recommended to contact the Indian embassy or consulate in your country to understand the visa requirements and procedures for educational visits to India.

For business-related visits, visa-free travel to India may be permissible for some nationalities. However, the scope of activities allowed under visa-free travel for business purposes can be limited.

If you are planning to engage in business activities, it is recommended to consult with the Indian embassy or consulate in your country to understand the specific conditions and limitations under the visa-free agreement that applies to your nationality. In many cases, a Business Visa or an Employment Visa may be required for more extensive or long-term business engagements.

If your country is not listed in the visa-free travel agreements with India, you will need to apply for an appropriate visa to enter the country. The type of visa required will depend on the purpose of your visit, such as tourism, business, education, or medical treatment.

It is important to contact the Indian embassy or consulate in your country to understand the visa requirements and procedures. The application process typically involves submitting the necessary documents, paying the applicable fees, and attending an interview if required.

By understanding the visa requirements and regulations, you can plan your trip to India accordingly and ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience. Whether you qualify for visa-free travel or need to apply for a visa, India’s rich cultural tapestry and extraordinary landscapes await your exploration. Start planning your trip now and get ready to embark on a memorable journey to this incredible country.

7 Overseas Paradises Every Indian Can Visit Without A Visa

To travel is a wonderful thing and as The Dalai Lama once stated, every year go some place you have never been before. While there are many beautiful sights to see in India itself, it always interesting to know what lies beyond, and to satiate this curiosity we often go through quite a few formalities before we can legally enter another country. Visas have for a long time discouraged travelers from taking that last minute vacation abroad. While getting a Visa for a lot of countries isn't really a hassle, its great to know that there are still a few destinations where Indian citizens are allowed to set foot without a visa. So the next time you want to go abroad and don't want to bother with a visa, try any one of these.

Lush greenery, the mighty Himalayas, and quaint monasteries welcome you to Bhutan with open arms, minus a visa if you are an Indian passport holder. What better place to rush off to for a little break! Bhutan is one of the remotest places in the world and somewhere this makes it an ideal vacation destination for city folks who are looking at disconnecting from the world for a few days. The sole airport at Paro can be reached via only Druk Air from Delhi and Kolkata . One can also drive down if flying isn't working out. Places to visit includes, Paro, Thimpu, Dochu La Pass, Taktsang Lakhang and Gangtey.

2. Dominica

Dominica is not the short form for Dominican Republic but is another island in the Caribbeans. Island, sea, Caribbeans; these are all the right words for a perfect beach vacation and it's even better when we say that its visa-free for Indian citizens! thinking of a longer stay? Well! guess what, Dominica allows Indian citizens to stay as long as 22 months without a visa! Ideally meant for those who want to sit back and relax while taking in the views of the gorgeous sea and the occasional snorkeling. The island is rich with lush forests, mountains, as many as 300 rivers and even houses the world's second largest hot spring - Boiling Lake! There are no direct flights to Dominica from India and yes a round trip fare would cost as much as INR 2,00,000. Steep I would say but if cash flow is not an issue, then go for it.

3. Mauritius

I cannot stress enough on the fact that Mauritius is much more than a honeymoon destination, its also a great destination for family trips as well as a trip with friends. Things you can do in Mauritius? Well lets see, Snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, big game fishing, big cat interactions at Casela Nature Park, Sky Diving at Skydive Mauritius, Shopping at Port Louis, enjoy the nightlife at Grand Baie, shopping at outlets of luxury brands rejects and watch some of the most spectacular sunsets of your life as you soak in some of the good life! Mauritius is easily accessible from India and a comfortable trip for 7 days with a stay in a star hotel would cost roughly around INR 1,00,000 per head.

Think Jamaica and the instant picture that comes to my mind is a lazy day by the beach, sipping on some Pina Coladas while some Reggae music plays in the background. Jamaica is the perfect picture of a tropical island. Lush mountainous forests, reef lined coasts and great nightlife. Its as if Jamaica was created so that the world could have a perfect place to visit for a break. I mean Bob Marley was born here, shouldn't that be reason enough anyway?! When in Jamaica do stay at one of the fantastic resorts at Montego Bay, go for some snorkeling at Negril and get your fill of the legend Bob Marley at Kingston which houses the famous Bob Marley Museum.

Blue lagoons, palm trees and some of the best beaches in the world come at a no visa requirement for Indian passport holders. Now isn't that something! Fiji is the perfect picture of an exotic island and maybe only 2nd to Seychelles for the same. Apart from the obvious there is a lot more to see in Fiji, visit Denarau island, Mount Tomanivi, Sawa-i-lau (a limestone island),Bouma National Heritage Park, Navala village, and the Sigatoka sand dunes,yup you heard that right!

6. El Salvador

El Salvador is a small South American country which is usually not on most people's mind when they are planning a vacation, but this little country has a lot to off for the beach bums and surfers and if you are Indian, then please go ahead and surf past the visa process! The capital San Salvador has a flourishing nightlife and an equally great arts and culture scene, spend a lazy afternoon at the outdoor markets hunting for a good bargain and follow it up with a night of revelry, all this with an imposing backdrop of volcanoes, exciting isn't it?! Other places of interest are Juayu which is known for it's weekend food festival, Alegria which is a beautiful mountain town which is rich in flowering plants and last but not the least The Maya Ruins at Tazumal.

7. Hong Kong

Yes, Hong Kong has a visa free stay period of 14 days for Indian passport holders if you are flying to Hong Kong directly from India. Basically accessibility to the nearest Disneyland just got a lot more simpler. Hong Kong is one the most vibrant Asian countries and has a thriving nightlife and is also a great destination for shoppers. The best thing about Hong Kong is that it can be enjoyed with both family and friends and 14 days is more than enough to explore what it has to offer. Hong Kong is connected via all major airports in India.

Visa Waiver Program

The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) , administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in consultation with the State Department, permits citizens of 41 countries to travel to the United States for business or tourism for stays of up to 90 days without a visa. In return, those 41 countries must permit U.S. citizens and nationals to travel to their countries for a similar length of time without a visa for business or tourism purposes.

Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)

ESTA is an automated system that determines the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Authorization via ESTA does not determine whether a traveler is admissible to the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers determine admissibility upon travelers’ arrival. The ESTA application collects biographic information and answers to VWP eligibility questions. ESTA applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel, though it is recommended that travelers apply as soon as they begin preparing travel plans or prior to purchasing airline tickets.

How to read your Tourist Visa validity

Validity period: How long can your visa be used for.

Max stay: The longest you can stay in India each time you visit.

Expiry date: This depends on which visa type you have.

For example:

If you've got a 30-day India Tourist eVisa, and the expiry date is March 14:

The latest date you can enter India is March 14, 2024.

This is the expiry date of your visa. From this date, you're allowed to stay in the country for up to 30 days.

If you've got a 1-year or 5-year India Tourist eVisa, and the expiry date is March 14:

The latest date you can leave India is March 14, 2024.

The expiry date, in this case is the date by which you must depart India.

You can stay in India for as long as your maximum stay but not longer than the validity period.

Can I extend my India Tourist eVisa?

Generally, the India Tourist eVisa cannot be extended. Tourists are expected to adhere to the validity period specified on their eVisa—either 30 days, 90 days per visit on the 1-year visa, or 90 days per visit on the 5-year visa.

If you need to stay longer than the terms of your original visa due to exceptional circumstances, you must apply through the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) or Foreigners Registration Office (FRO) in India. For detailed procedures and exceptions, it’s advisable to consult the official Indian government immigration website .

7 least powerful passports with visa-free access to less than 50 countries

TRAVEL TRENDS , WORLD Created : Jun 1, 2024, 10:00 IST

In a world where travel has become increasingly accessible, passport power plays a significant role in determining one's mobility across borders. While some passports grant their holders visa-free access to a lot of countries, others face significant restrictions and barriers. Among the latter, the passports offering access to less than 50 countries stand out for their limited global mobility. If you are curious by now, here are some of the least powerful passports in terms of visa-free access, each granting its holders access to fewer than 50 countries without a visa.

Read more: Top 6 passports that offer visa-free access to more than 190 countries ​

Afghanistan - 28 countries

Topping the list is the Afghan passport, which provides visa-free access to a mere 28 countries. Afghanistan's turbulent history and ongoing conflicts have contributed to its passport's limited global reach, making international travel a challenging endeavor for its citizens.

Syria - 29 countries

With visa-free access to only 29 countries, the Syrian passport ranks among the least powerful in the world. The country's prolonged civil war and political instability have led to widespread travel restrictions for its citizens, severely limiting their mobility on the global stage.

Iraq - 31 countries

The Iraqi passport offers entry to 31 countries without a visa, reflecting the challenges faced by its citizens in international travel. Despite efforts to rebuild the nation following years of conflict, Iraq's passport remains one of the least powerful globally, imposing significant limitations on its holders.

Pakistan - 34 countries

Pakistan's passport grants visa-free access to 34 countries, placing it among the least powerful passports in terms of global mobility. Despite its strategic geopolitical significance, Pakistan faces diplomatic challenges that restrict its citizens' ability to travel freely.

Yemen - 35 countries

The Yemeni passport provides entry to 35 countries without a visa, reflecting the country's ongoing political instability and humanitarian crises. Limited visa-free access poses significant challenges for Yemeni citizens seeking to travel abroad for education, employment, or leisure.

Somalia - 36 countries

Somalia's passport ranks among the least powerful, offering visa-free access to only 36 countries. Political unrest, terrorism, and piracy have contributed to Somalia's international isolation, imposing severe restrictions on its citizens' ability to travel freely.

Nepal - 40 countries

Closing the list is Nepal, whose passport grants visa-free access to 40 countries. While Nepal boasts stunning natural beauty and cultural heritage, its citizens face challenges in international travel due to visa restrictions imposed by many countries.

Department of State/AILA Liaison Committee Meeting March 20, 2024

The Secretary of State, following consultations with the Department of Homeland Security, has determined that the following categories of interview waivers are in the national interest.  Changes based on that determination are implemented by consular officers, who now have the authority and discretion to waive the in-person interview for:

• First time H-2 visa applicants (temporary agricultural and non-agricultural workers); and
• Were previously issued a nonimmigrant visa in any classification, unless the only prior issued visa was a B visa; and
• Are applying within 48 months of their most recent nonimmigrant visa’s expiration date.

In all cases, applicants must meet certain legal requirements to qualify for an interview waiver.  Implementation of this authority begins January 1, 2024, and will be reviewed annually.  This authority is in place until further notice.

As a reminder, applicants renewing a nonimmigrant visa in the same classification within 48 months of the prior visa’s expiration date continue to be eligible for interview waiver until further notice. 

To be eligible for an interview waiver, applicants must also meet certain criteria, including that they:

• apply in their country of nationality or residence.
• have never been refused a visa (unless such refusal was overcome or waived).
• have no apparent or potential ineligibility.

Consular officers may still require in-person interviews on a case-by-case basis or because of local conditions.  We encourage applicants to check embassy and consulate websites for more detailed information about visa application requirements and procedures, and to learn more about the embassy’s operating status and services.
